Installation Questions
How long does paver installation take?
Installation time varies by project size and complexity: small patios (300 sq ft) take 2-3 days, typical driveways (600 sq ft) require 4-5 days, and large projects (1000+ sq ft) need 5-7 days. Weather, site conditions, and pattern complexity can affect timing. We provide accurate timelines during estimation.
What makes professional installation worth the cost?
Professional installation ensures proper base preparation, drainage, and compaction that prevents future settling, cracking, and weed growth. We use commercial equipment, quality materials, and proven techniques. DIY installations often fail due to inadequate base prep, resulting in costly repairs within 2-3 years.
Can pavers be installed over existing concrete?
Yes, pavers can be installed over existing concrete if it's structurally sound, properly sloped, and crack-free. We add a leveling layer and adjust for height transitions. However, removal and proper base installation often provides better long-term results. We assess each situation to recommend the best approach.
What warranty do you provide on installation?
We provide a 2-year warranty on installation workmanship covering settling, separation, or other installation-related issues. This includes base preparation, paver placement, and joint sand installation. Manufacturer warranties on pavers themselves typically range from 25 years to lifetime depending on the product selected.
